PINKHAM NOTCH, N.H. (AP) — The mother of a retired Marine injured in an avalanche on New Hampshire's Mount Washington says her son is resting comfortably in stable condition.

Denise Zeier said Friday she hasn't spoken to her son, 26-year-old Sgt. Keith Zeier, since Thursday evening's incident, but his doctors told her his injuries are not life threatening and that his prognosis is promising.

Keith Zeier, who lost his leg and suffered a brain injury in Iraq in 2006, was climbing Mount Washington to raise funds and awareness for families of Special Operations forces killed and wounded in action. His mother says her son has no fear and is passionate about the cause.

Zeier was hiking with two others, who were also injured. Their conditions were not known.
